THE BOON" IN REAL ESTATE.

THE BOOM" IN REAL ESTATE.
1t is to be doubted if ct any time in the
history of Texas there was ever such
real estate "boom" as is on hand right
now. We do not mean as to prices, for
of course they have grown as the country
has developed and become more popul0us,
but the inquiry and movement which,
even comparatively considered, exceeds
anything ever known in that line. Read
ers of THE GAZETTE can hardly fail to
notice that this movement is quite gen.
eral. Our special reports from nearly
every section of the state tell the same
story-s steady, almost eager, Inquiry fer
real estate, and great volume Of trans
actions at good prices. And the move
ment applies to country as well as city
property. Reading the reports IF real
estate transfers that are published daily
or weekly by many of the papers, it is
seen that city lots are not the only
species of realty sought after. There is an
unusually good demand for farming
and stock lands, and sellers are
getting very fair prices - nobody
seems to be selling at q sacri-
fee. This is very healthy and crafty
ing sign, end is proof positive that capt.
tai has undiminished faith in the future
and possibilities of Texas. 1t was feared
that the accounts which have gone abroad
of the drouth experience OF last year
would prove detrimental to the whole
state, checking immigration and lettering
investments, for. several years at least.
But it is pleasant to see that people have
so much confidence in Texas that they
do not take the drouth episode into &C.
count. They argue that what has hap
pened once may occur again, but is not
likely to do so $50 far as drouth is con-
cerned) two years in succession, or even
twice within a decade. Their faith in
the possibilities OF our soil and natural
resources impels them to take the risk,
and SO people at home and from abroad
are buying freely. In many OF
the larger cities and towns, as
is the case here in Fort Worth,
prices exhibit an astonishing advance.
There is nothing approaching it anywhere
else in the country, save in California and
the iron districts of Alabama and Ten

obscene literature and why should there
not be for these open-mouthed advocates

Sault Ste. Marie is doing its best to en-

gates. The convention, which will be
called to order tomorrow morning.
promises to be one of the most impor-
tant commercial gatherings held in this

ent. and many others of national fame.
Encouraging and helpful letters will he

and the speeches Of the delegates
promise to be full of interest and enthI-
SiaSm. In fact a political convention
could scarcely be more interesting or its
members more enthusiastic. All seem
imbued with the idea of the national
character of the work in hand and of
the Immediate necessity of securing the
best possible facilities for the growing
commerce of the lakes. The East
ern delegates are with the West
ern in their desire to aid
in securing closer and easier
a convention can scarcely fail to accom-
pliSh great results. Knute Nelson is TAX
Ing great interest in the whole matter,
and will doubtless champion the apprO-
priatiOn bill asked for. An attempt will
be made to tack the schemeIOf the pur-
chase by the government of the Portage
canal to the Sault Ste. Marie resOlu-
tiOns, but the feeling of the Minnesota
delegates While friendly to the purchase
will oppose any connection OF the two
schemes, believing such a connection
would prove inimical to the interests OF
the Sault. Jay Hubbell will champion
the Portage lake canal scheme. Hon.
Henry NJ. Rice is the favOrite one neil
toned for permanent chairman. Prof.
Phelps is receiving congratulations on
all hands for the extraordinary success
of the convention. which is the direct
result of his indefatigable labor. The
hospitality of the people of the Sault is
unbOunded. Beats are placed at the
disposal of the delegates. and many have
visited the Hay lake channel and other
points of interest. \ mammoth tent has

Gladstone Pleased.

LONDON, July 19.-Mr. Gladstone,
speaking this evening, eXulted over the
results of the recent parliamentary
elections. The reduced Conservative
majority in Hampshire, he said, was in
dicative of movement in favor of Irish
autonomy. If the results at Carlisle and
HOrnsey should be similar the perman-
nency of the movement might be relied
upon. The surrender of the movement
in regard to the judicial rents showed
that they already felt the effects of the
revulsion of hopeful feeling.
In the parliamentary election at
Brixton to-day Carmarthan, Conserva-
tive. received 3,307 votes, and Hill,

ton the Conservative vote was $500,

Alleged Frauds in That Section to
Be Investigated.

Special to the Globe.
WASHINGTON, July 19.-The secre-
tary of the interior has directed Land
Commissioner Sparks to issue patents
for swamp and Oyerfiowed lands in the
Duluth, Mimi, land district, which the
latter had suspended, because of the
many allegations of gross error and
fraud The secretary states that no
evidence supporting these charges
has been furnished, except in the case
of two townships. The surveyor OF
these townships swears that he does
not believe that his field notes were
turned over to the surveyor general,
but that false and fraudulent ones were
turned over instead. The surveyor
further states that the land represented
as swamp is the only valuable land in
the townships. The secretary is of the
opinion that this evidence is sufficient
to warrant all investigation. which he
directs to be made at once, pending the
issue of the patents for the land III these
townships.

liant speeches made on the
occasion by Eugene Field, of the Chi

were the efforts of their lives. Col.
Field distinguished himself on the trip
from Chicago by reciting in his inimit-
able style numerous original stories
which illustrated his beautiful regard
for the correct surroundings attaching
to the typical Northwestern state. 1t is
safe to say that the credulous minds of
fair women were never before filed
with such varied information in such
short time. while Col. Reed, by his
efforts as a vocalist, added much to
the ladies' enjoyment. 1t is rumored
that his operate talent may some
